Sucked into the Abyss (Not Spoilery)
« on: November 13, 2010, 11:12:32 pm »
So I was exploring an old fort of mine as an adventurer, slaying the normal welcoming party of zombie elks and generally having a merry time when I suddenly get "zombie cave blob" appearing on my attack list as I'm standing outside the (surface) entrance to my fortress fencing with yet another elk.  I don't see any anywhere in the area, and in fact that fortress never pierced the first cavern layer.  But, being a bit foolhardy, I decide to go ahead and attack it, swinging my giant axe blade at its invisible body.

It turns out to be a trap, as I suddenly appear in the depths of the cavern, standing next to this very real cave blob of unusual abilities in a cluster of blood thorns, flanked by his friends and a zombie Gorlack.  I can only assume that it is another side to the bug that pulls birds out of the sky when you wrestle with them.

Playing a cheesemaker in an average Fortress 'round here would be. Freaking. Terrifying.

The learning curve of the df forums should be equal to that of df itself.

Well, that's what I get for trying to use Imageshack. >_> 

EDIT: Fix'd now.

I've wandered around down here for two full sleep cycles now before having my knee ripped apart by a troll.  Good thing I happen to be carrying a crutch for no particular reason.

EDIT: Scratch that, eight hours of sleep and I'm good as new.
